On the recordSeptember 4, 2003

I commend him for producing what I think is a fair and balanced bill. I want to particularly single out and thank him for including some funding for the Pineda Extension. This project is very, very important for the proper evacuation in the event of hurricanes for many of our coastal communities in the congressional district that I represent. As we all can remember, Hurricane Floyd... precipitated one of the largest, if not the largest, human evacuations in history where literally millions of people had to migrate off the coast of Florida and move inland. This important addition to the bill will help us in the State of Florida address that need in a very, very critical area.
